Luke 14:11 – “For all those who exult themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exulted.”
Ego is the enemy. Don’t put yourself on a pedestal. Don’t be boastful. Even if you are as good as you think you are, if you tell everyone how great you are people will dislike you and talk behind your back.
But if you are humble and good at what you do, people will see this too. They will speak kindly of you. You will not need to boast, because others will do it for you.
